The question is incomplete, the atoms in the third period referred to in the question are shown in the image attached.
Answer:
Cl>Si>Ar
Explanation:
Electron affinity refers to the energy released when an atom accepts electron (s) to form a negative ion. It is a periodic property that shows similar trends as electro negativity.
Considering the atoms in period three given in the question; chlorine will have the most negative value of electron affinity. This owes to the fact that halogens accept electrons easily to form negative ions. Silicon in group 14 shows much less negative value of electron affinity while argon, a noble gas, does not accept electrons at all and has an electron affinity of zero KJMol-1 by standard.
Answer:
5.4 J.
Explanation:
Given,
mass of the object, m = 2 Kg
initial speed, u = 5 m/s
mass of another object,m' = 3 kg
initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s
KE lost after collusion = ?
Final velocity of the system
Using conservation of momentum
m u + m'u' = (m + m') V
2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V
16 = 5 V
V = 3.2 m/s
Initial KE =
=
= 31 J
Final KE =
Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.
